Understanding migration
Cloud migration is the process of moving an existing application, data, or infrastructure from one cloud service to another, or from an on-premises setup to a cloud-based environment. It can help organizations to improve their operational and cost efficiency and IT scalability while providing access to advanced services such as AI and machine learning or the internet of things (IoT). Common scenarios where cloud migration is used include the following:
- Server consolidation: This typically involves consolidating multiple physical servers into a single cloud platform, reducing overhead costs and improving scalability. The process involves migrating the data onto the new platform and ensuring that connections between different components remain intact. Additionally, it requires making any necessary changes to ensure applications run optimally in the new environment.
- Disaster recovery: By having backups of important data stored on a separate cloud platform...
